Anyone played the star spangled banner backwards, just in case?
Just here to confirm nobody knows Anvil invented this form of music.
At least they are consistent I guess.
Good to know Lars is still a piece of shit and Metallica isn’t worth listening to.
And why shouldn’t the artist have a say in how their music is used?
Doooon’t downloaaaaad this soooooong…
I’m guessing this is about money, I can’t picture Metallica and James Hetfield being against Trump.

At least some bands make their position very clear.
cool, but Metallica still sucks for what they did to napster.
Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech) poster boys for the RIAA.
Napster was too big and too bold. They let themselves become synonymous with pirated music. There’s no way capitalism would let that alone. If it wasn’t Metallica, it would have to have been someone else.
On the upside, the Case was between Reload and St. Anger; their sales dropped by half and never recovered.

you don’t have to clarify that. You really have to be a ham fisted fucking idiot to do the things compositionally that metallica does with the music they have to hand. Master of puppets should have made a recurring theme of the chromatic (ish) intro, and they throw it away, they bash away at the same shitty, caveman riff for eight fucking minutes. And Justice for all has a great intro, and it gradually degrades until basically nothing is left.
check out this song that uses a theme similar to master of puppets for a better way to use a similar musical idea https://youtu.be/FoGoEQ8DUDo?list=RDFoGoEQ8DUDo&t=18
a similar musical idea
Remind me of S3M’s back in the 90’s
I still hold a YUUUUGE grudge towards metallica for what they did to napster. I will die on this hill damn it.
Every single artist did it to Napster, Metallica were just the front men. Tbf Napster wasnt going to survive legally, and if it had remained popular they would have gone to shit with some sort of payment system
Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.
99% of bands didn’t make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.
FIRE BAAAD
Merch good
Beer goooood!

This is basically the same thing.

Give em the Napster treatment
Lars has reached his final form
Close down the shop you mean? Can you do Russia too? I think I’ve even heard state TV use Babylon V soundtracks once.
Broken clocks, as they say.
Oh fun. This webiste’s cookie banner only has a “accept everything” button.
Ah, sorry. My adblocker blocks those annoyong popups. I had no idea.
Isn’t the US govt exempt from copyright or is it just congress?
Works created by the U.S. government do not benefit from copyright protection.
I don’t believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.
That’s stuff created by the government however there are also fair use provisions carved out for the government. I’ve had military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt.
I know congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument. So a member of congress pass around copies of material to other members of congress regardless of copyright.
I’m also pretty sure the government can’t legally start streaming all the Disney movies to federal employees without permission. I’m not sure where the line between these twoexamples is however.

Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.
military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt
The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.
who gives a shit, I will sic the fashion police on the government
Good! Fuck letting Nazis appropriate anything into their culture of bigotry and hate.
